"Ma, should we leave? You don't have to go away once in a while." Karen bidding.
"Hush, the meeting of the breed is only once a year. Later we forget the brothers far away if not come. After your father's death, his brothers rarely come here. Don't let us lose our brother."
Karenina is a 26-year-old single woman. She lives with her mother (Mama Puri) and her younger brother Kendrik. They live in a town called Koja. Since Karen's father died, the meeting of the breed from the father's family became the top priority Mama Puri.
He was worried that if he did not come, the family from his father's side would forget them. In previous years, the agenda of this breed meeting was happy for Karen. But since his age grew, this meeting became a scourge. Classic questions to mature-aged single women are beginning to be experienced.
Just be careful if someone asks me when to marry, I will spend it alive. (Karen).
"Ken, are you ready yet?" Mama Puri hasn't seen her son's nose.
"Stay, Ma. Get ready again."
"No need to be handsome! There's all the brothers, there's nothing to tinker with." Mama Puri was impatiently waiting.
"It has to be the maximum, Ma. Know for yourself sometimes the brother is full of nyiny." Karen defended Kendrik.
"Well, Mama's immune, Ren, Ren."
"That's Mama. Mama also went through a hard time. If I'm the same Ken just started" Karen replied.
"Don't think Mama has stopped accepting nyinyiran ya, until now Mama still accept the nyinyuh."
Not only accept the sign, maybe my own mother also ninyinyirin people. (Karen).
Indeed in life can not be separated from commenting and being commented on. It is undeniable, sometimes Mama Puri also make comments that might offend others.

Location of the trah meeting
Up there, they entered the room that was already filled with brothers.
"Puri, I've been waiting for you. Here, here, we again discuss Jeng Rini who wants a ghost next month."
Mama Puri was immediately busy chatting with the seniors in the family. Karen and Kendrik are joined by cousins of their age. Although labeled 'family', not all blend well.
Karen even has a big enemy who has always been her rival. Mila, a distant cousin of Karen and Kendrik, always seems to have a grudge against Karen. When they were kids, they were very familiar.
When they both received High School education, Karen became the head of the cheerleader team and had achievements in academia. It was a blow to Mila and made her always lectured by her parents. Since then, Mila showed her dislike to Karen.
Especially now, Karen who is a content writer, managed to set up a writing agency of her own and already has 10 employees.
"How are you, Ren?" greet Mila.
"Good, Mil. How're you?"
"I'm tired lately, bothered to take care of my wedding next month. My mom doesn't want to use WO (Wedding Organizer), so I'm the one who has her own troubles. Ancient yes parents, but WO will help really."
"Hehehem, yes." Karen could only throw her awkward laugh.
Humble brag huh? Show off getting married? (Karen).
With a fury Karen bit at the cake she was holding roughly.
"When are you getting married?" Finally the deadly question was first thrown from Mila.
You cockroaches! (Karen).
Karen sighed with great difficulty, furiously she replied, "December."
"Oh my goodness, it turns out you got married later this year huh. How come Aunt Puri doesn't tell stories?"
"Yes, the month of December, the year doesn't know when" Karen said, nibbling on the cake in her hand.
"Hahaha, could you be Ren, real kirain."
Lhoh, why really? Do you think I'm that bad that it's impossible to get married? I'm a former cheerleader, cheerleader. (Karen).
"Where to move? The house you want to sell now?"
"No, I bought my own house. This age of shame is still the same old man. Moreover, I'm the boss of the company, can be made fun of with colleagues if still hitchhiking."
Mila chokes. It felt like he was slapped on his cheek. At the age of 26, Mila was still willing to live with her parents. Then get married soon and join the husband. He really never felt like he was living independently in his own home.
Not you now, huh! Don't mess with Karenina Damartya. (Karen).
Watch out for you, Ren! (Mila).
"Well, congratulations on getting married soon" another brother told him.
Mila smiled haughtily while glancing at Karen. Hearing that, Karen ate 1 piece of brownies at a time until her mouth was full.
I need more food. (Karen).
Come again a brother. Unexpectedly, the brother was precisely towards Karen. "Congratulations, Ren, you want your own home. You are truly independent."
The turn of Karen who smiled arrogantly towards Mila.
After the brother passed, Karen congratulated Mila. "I didn't even congratulate you, I forgot. Congratulations Mila, soon you will be a housewife. Don't forget the soap opera schedule, the average mother likes to watch soap operas if there is no work." Karen's words were like throwing a grenade that exploded on target.
Kendrik who sat behind them rubbed his ears.
Gosh, what in the world, women compete in such things? Play games aja akh, puyeng dengernya. (Cendric).
Kendrik played the game because he was tired of hearing the two women throw attacks at each other.
Mila congratulated me too. "I also do not congratulate you, congratulations you already have your own company, your own car, now the house has also bought itself. Congratulations on being a successful career woman. Usually, the career woman is focused on career, marriage later wait for gray hair."
Karen's heart was pounding like a bass drum being hit hard. His blood felt hot like mountain lava that was ready to radiate in all directions. His breathing was as fast as a marathon runner just getting to the finish line.
Karen put in another piece of brownie until her mouth was full.
Ask to be picked up by the magic grandmother. (Karen).
The cold satirical battle insinuated it was getting fiercer.
"Ken, get a drink!" word Karen.
"Ntar first, again nanggung his game," objected Kendrik who was engrossed in playing games with his cellphone.
"Hurry up!" Karen was impatient and angry with emotions.
"Ready, Boss!" Quickly, Ken took a drink for his hot brother.
"I'm also getting married next year. Just wait!" Karen promised herself marriage.
"Lho, he said that last December of the year somehow? How suddenly ...."
"I mean next December!"
"Okay, I'm waiting for the invitation. Oh, don't forget tomorrow if you go to my wedding, your candidate is invited!" mila said, full of intimidation and distrust that Karen has a future husband.
Guandrik! Hike who? If you go to a wedding, you can tell Ken to be my girlfriend. Going to marriage is impossible! (Karen).
"Okay, I'm taking you to your wedding. Calm down, I'll get to know everyone."
Okay-in first. Later you can hire or hire people to nyamar as my girlfriend. (Karen).
"I'm really looking forward to it, Ren. But don't tell people to be your girlfriend!" It was as if she could read Karen's mind.
Aaaaaaaaa how this is. (Karen)
